My dog was attacked early this morning (most likely in my yard) by either coyotes or my neighbors dogs. The other dogs took off in fright, and I had to track them down around 6:30 a.m. We rushed Fritzy to the Animal Hospital (well, three of them...two were closed) after I tended some of his lighter wounds. I found him in complete shock. He had been bitten around the muzzle, the eyes, his left flank, and his groin. He's going to have to be castrated completely (his testicles were literally hanging out of his flayed skin) and he needs a lot of eye and muscle repair. All in all...this puts me in the hole about $1,000...otherwise known as a month and a halfs worth of work. All the money I was saving up just went WHOOSH! My parents told me to put him down, but...he had a fighting chance, he wasn't terminal...and...it just didn't seem right.
In other words, I'm broke now...so whatever I was planning on doing is caput. On the brightside...my dog's alive.
